lt is to be understoot. that l. am nbt l1uitedto the use ofany particular solution or combinations of ingredients for saturating4 the cloth, but'. as a example', would statetlizit l inight'guse' a mixture of soap and linseed-oil. After the cloth has been saturated with the solution, it is rolled to produce' a structure of substantially'circular shape and orf 'the 'required diameter to propt-)ily till the tire shoe or casing for Which it is intended and it is bent toa circular shape, the ends being securedtogether by stitching or any other'desired means.

'Y From the foregoing description in connection with the accompanying' drawing, it yvill b e-understood that when-a core, constructed in accordance with my invention, is inserted in the tire shoe. or casing in lieu of the ordina-ry inflatable inner tube, the shoe will be in condition. for service and a resilienttire ywill be produced. lrlanifestly, a core embodying the improvements of'niy invention canY be verycheaply constructed and 'as it Will" last a very long time under ordinary Service and Will not be liable to injury from puncture, its availability and advantages will at once be apparent;

It is to be understood that a cor-e constructed in yaccordance with my invention n'iay-be formed of any desired number of layers of cloth or fabric and that any desired layersmay be added thereto as required in order to produce the necessary di'` ameter. It is further to be. understood that.

.prefer to boil the saine in a gelatinous solo tion which will not only permeate all of the interstices ofthe fabric and properly till up the pores, but will also a body' Aor sizing to vthelcloth and impartsonie ref silicnce-v thereto. Furthermore, in order to facilitate the -bendingof the roll to form-the i circular '.core, 1 the 'roll is 'preferably twisted 1 axially by torsional strailn Vbefore 'it' is. e

vcurved or bent' into circular shape, and the i i ends of the roll are preferably out on the bias or beveled and lapped and thenA stitchedV through as indicated at 2 in Fig. 4;
